Pi Week!

Happy belated pie day!  Yesterday was pie day, and it was celebrated
with some delicious apple crumble pie.  All pie aside, this week has
been a great week of missionary work, salvation-spreading, and
gospel-teaching.  Elder Decker and I have been doing some great work
to help the people here in Edmonton Canada to learn of God, of Christ,
and of the gospel.  This week we met with Holly again, and talked
about the 5 steps of the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Faith, Repentance,
Baptism, Receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the
End.  We read out of Book of Mormon with her as well, and she seems to
be doing really well.  We are planning on asking her this next week
when we meet about how she expects the Holy Ghost to feel or speak to
her, and what she feels she will need to feel or know in order to
accept baptism.  We are pretty excited for that, we think it will
really help her progress and help us understand how better to help her
towards baptism.  We also had the chance this week to go on exchanges.
I am no longer district leader, but Elder Decker is, so I had the
chance to spend a day working with Elder Mathewson again. He's a good
guy and a good missionary, and I enjoyed the time I got to spend
serving with him.

This week in Edmonton is starting to bridge the gap between Spring and
Winter.  Earlier weeks were warm, and I thought winter had ended.  But
a few days of good snow proved me wrong.  But this week has been
moderate, with lots of snow melting and chilly but acceptable
temperatures as the norm.  So spring is coming!  And now it stays
light out a lot longer - mostly due to the Daylight Savings change we
had Sunday night....  But it's getting there.

Alright, thanks for reading!  Hope you have a good week!
